Monster Munchies

 Hello & Happy Saturday!

And Happy World Card Making Day!

Do you have any fun plans to make some cards today?

Miss Bailee is headed to the groomers first thing this morning then my stamp girls are coming over to make some cards this afternoon! It's been awhile since I seen them so I am looking forward to it! 

Also today is my last day of Halloween cards! I'm sure your Halloween'd out as I am too! I still have some Halloween things to share with you but it's nothing like what I dumped on you the last 4 weeks! LOL I am going to get back to more normal cards with a few Halloween thrown into the mix! 

For my last set I used the retired stamp set called Monster Munchies which retired in 2012. I paired it up with my Sizzix Ghost Die and some Simply Marbleous DSP from 2022.

When I pulled this stamp set out to use I immediately knew I wanted to pair it with my ghost dies and then I went on the hunt to find the right DSP to go with them. One afternoon I was sitting at my stamp table and I have clear bins that sit right in front of me and this DSP was looking right at me as if to say....use me! I flipped through the paper pack and found this Basic Gray & white marble paper and that is when the light bulb moment hit! LOL Isn't it werid how things come to be! I thought maybe it would be a bit spooky but also perfect for my ghost to have that misty swirly looking background! Perfect! 

Card Details:

Stamps: Monster Munchies (retired-2012)

Ink: Basic Black Archival (retired)

Cardstock: Basic Gray, Basic White, Basic Black, Simply Marbleous DSP (SAB retired-2022)

Accessories: Oval Layering Framelits (retired), Rhinestones, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

Well, I thought they were fun and what a way to end my Halloween marathon! LOL

This is set #32! I am proud that I managed to get that many made and also use up ALOT of DSP's and retired inks, cardstock & embellishments! My Halloween paper holder is much lighter now! 

I hope that you enjoyed my Halloween card sets! I thought about doing that for Thanksgiving but I don't think I will.

BOO Card

 Hello & Happy Wednesday!

Hope your week is going well!

I'm happy to say that I think my mojo is back....atleast for now! LOL

I worked all day yesterday on card kits for my next Stamp Day w Friends get together.

I'm happy that it's done so I will need to set a date with the girls soon!

I usually love to do that on World Card Making Day which is October 3rd this year but I already have plans. 

Today I have a brand new card that I just made yesterday!

It is made with non Stampin Up! goodies...

I used a retired stamp set for my sentiment called Monster Munchies.

It's a favorite of mine!

The paper is unknown. I have a folder full of scraps so that is what I used.

The green cardstock is Green Galore! Anyone remember that color??

Card Details:

Stamps: Monster Munchies (retired)

Ink: Gorgeous Grape

Cardstock: Basic Black, Green Galore (retired), Gorgeous Grape, Whisper White, Unknown Paper

Accessories: Oval Layering Framelits, Sizzix Ghost Die, Gorgeous Grape Striped Ribbon, Rhinestones, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I wish Stampin Up! would bring out pretty paper & prints like this one for Halloween!

The last few years the prints are dark & dreary.

I personally like the pretty colors of Halloween!

Hope you like!

Ghostly Fun Fold Card

Hello & HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!

It's finally here!

It's a very rainy yukky day and i'm not sure what to expect for Trick or Treat tonight!

As of now it is still planned here in Red Lion tonight from 6-8 pm.

I am planning on giving treats out unless it ends up raining heavy.

Today since it is finally BOO Day, I have a BOO Day card to share that I made yesterday.

Have you ever heard of a Bridge Fold?

I have but never tried to make one until now!

So fun and what a cool look!

I pulled out my pack of Toil & Trouble DSP from last year and used this adorable ghost paper.
I never purchased the matching stamp set & dies so I used my Sizzix Ghost Die that I got last year.
I love this die! I think my ghost completes my card nicely!

Card Details:

Stamps: The Raven (inside sentiment), Wonderfully Wicked
Ink: Memento Black
Cardstock: Thick Whisper White, Basic Black, Highland Heather, Toil & Trouble DSP (retired)
Accessories: Sizzix Ghost Die, Circle Layering Framelits, Black Rhinestone, Gorgeous Grape Stripped Ribbon, Glue Dot, Mini Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue


I am going to have to remember this fun fold card for the future!
Very different & fun!

Here is a link to a tutorial that I used to make mine....

Happy BOO Day!

Hello & Happy Monday!

A late start to my day today.

I was up a bit too late last night and slept way too long this morning.

I never heard Shawn get up for work and the doggies never bothered me to get breakfast!

That's a very rare event around here! LOL

Today I have a cute Halloween card to share!

This was created using a bunch of things from my stash.

Take a peek...

Did you see that adorable Ghost?

He is a die that I snagged off of Ebay recently.

It is one of those thick black dies that Sizzix makes and I have been watching for one on there since summertime. I finally snagged one for $7.00 and $2.50 shipping! I thought it was a steal!

Anyways, I found a scrap of this paper in my Halloween paper folder (which I have no idea the maker) and added my Happy Boo sentiment from Stampin Up! I pulled the colors from the piece of patterned paper and that orange is retired Tangelo Twist from a few years ago. That piece was embossed with a Darice Embossing Folder that I also grabbed a few years ago at the York Heirloom Stamp Show.

Card Details:

Stamps: Monster Munchies

Ink: Memento Black

Cardstock: Basic Black, Tangelo Twist. Whisper White, unknown patterned paper

Accessories: Sizzix Ghost Die, Stitched Shapes Framelits, Oval Layering Framelits, Darice EF., Black Rhinestone, Dimensionals, Tombow Multipurpose Liquid Glue

I was squealing with delight when I made this one! 

So many cute things on it, even my little ghost!

What I like most about it though is the texture that the embossing folder adds!

This card will make it's way to one of my friends mailboxes in the next day or too if it has not already arrived at it's destination!

Happy BOO Day! 👻
